“Don’t bother about what others think. Prioritize yourself. When things get tough, go somewhere nice, treat yourself to a holiday. If you’re angry, don’t hold it in. Eat something delicious to de-stress. Learn to live for yourself, not for anyone else. Life is more beautiful than you think. Life’s worth living.’ ‘Life’s worth living?”

“What do you have against Monterey Jack?” “It’s fine, I suppose,” he says with a faint air of disdain. “If you like that sort of thing.” “By ‘that sort of thing,’ do you mean cheese? Because I like cheese.”

“remember that it was a privilege to have self-actualization crises instead of self-preservation ones, I could ground myself again. It was a miracle my family had even made it to America.”

“Family is no big deal, my dears. So many of us wish we could cut off our family members who get into trouble all the time and make life difficult for everyone else – if only we weren’t bound by blood! They give us only worry and hate, yet because they’re family, we can’t help but have expectations, only to get hurt or inflict hurt when they fall short.”
